oldford Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 My first thought is a 31 Graham, but the doors in the hood sides are a problem. I think they had only louvers... Frank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo information contained this sentence: "Mr. Trostle gets his brakes tested by a Weaver Automatic Brake Tester in the "Safety Lane" on Wisconsin Avenue, sponsored by the AAA" That's all I know about this photo.

Curti Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 "Mr. Trostle gets his brakes tested by a Weaver Automatic Brake Tester in the "Safety Lane" on Wisconsin Avenue, sponsored by the AAA" Way cool !! Has anyone ever seen one while walking the rows at Hershey ? Or any where else? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintman Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Not sure if it helps but I have a photo of a 1931 Graham Coupe 49 which has four large flap louvres. Much more modern wheels though. No mention of a "49" in the Standard Catalogue. Regards Vintman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) I think as with many car makers of this era the exact date is hard to determine as there were frequent changes of specification - and not helped by there being a multiplicity of models on several different wheelbases. This car has earlier styling - 1929-30 I reckon - but could easily have been sold later due to the slow sales as the Great Depression began to bite. It is obviously one of their larger eight cylinder models - like this one which is listed as 1930 (an 834 I think) - http://classiccarsmark.com/other-makes/113834-1930-graham-paige-7pass-sedan.html - though comparing the two pictures I think maybe the mystery car is a little shorter. This next one is an 822 - maybe closer to it? - Edited November 12, 2016 by nzcarnerd (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) This one is listed as 1931, note the different waistline moulding - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v20/jinxx1/El Centro 2015/1931 Graham 5T6 Mar 15 1.jpg~original Edited November 12, 2016 by nzcarnerd (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
